<title>....</title>

Some of the established title types can be seen here:

For a title identifying the verse under discussion you could use:
<title type="scope"><reference osisRef="...">...</reference></title>

<div type="introduction">...</div>

Just place this within your book <div> but before any of the commentary 
section <div>s.
